Personal Update
This past week I had a small reminder that life happens regardless of what your training goals might be. I have been getting back into creating my art and felt it was time for a new artist desk after having the same one since 2003. I went to Hobby Lobby to pick up my order and after paying, I lifted the box with excitement to place it in the cart before leaving the store but I felt a sharp pain in my hand. A small shard of glass had pierced the meatiest part of my palm and started bleeding. My training in the gym has needed to change until the puncture wound heals. The desk looks great and my hand has not needed any more attention other than general wound care; life is still great.
This week’s really cool podcast to listen to is:
“Ted Health”
4 Kinds of regret—and what they can teach you about yourself, by Daniel Pink. - Daniel Pink has written his new book about regret and found these 4 commonly occurred regrets in various populations. He says these regrets often start a sentence by saying “If Only” and provided some pretty easy breakdowns within the first 6 minutes of the episode. I liked that the episode didn’t tease the main point with the episode title and then wait until the end to reveal this easy-to-understand list.
Foundation Regrets- “If only I had done the work”
Boldness Regrets- “If Only I had taken the chance”
Moral Regrets- “If only I had done the right thing“
Connection regrets- “If only I reached out more”

As promised the new layout of https://fitletes.com/members is way more efficient at finding what you need ASAP. The redundancy of multiple pages for the same thing is all consolidated into an evolving dashboard.
For Lifetime Members you will also notice a difference in your Logged in Dashboard as well! Checkit out below!
